Is it ever appropriate to diagnose and treat oral and dental problems
without knowing the full extent of the problem? With more than 50% of
anatomical structures and associated pathologies located below the
gingivae and unseen to the eye, that's the reality without the use of
high-quality, accurately interpreted radiographs. Atlas of Dental
Radiography in Dogs and Cats presents hundreds of actual radiographic
images, which are clearly labeled to facilitate accurate identification
of normal and abnormal features. This valuable new atlas shows you
exactly how to correlate common dental conditions with radiographic
signs. Radiographs are also compared side by side with actual
anatomical photographs to confirm surface landmarks visible on the
radiographs. Correct positioning techniques for producing diagnostic
radiographs as well as helpful tips and pitfalls when obtaining quality
radiographs are logically presented. This approach helps you produce
consistently high-quality radiographs, sharpen your interpretive
skills, and confidently treat a wide range of dental problems.
